If you had to hire one of the new Big East coaches...

[lancelot]

for your team, who would you pick?

I'd take:
1) Stevens - Butler
2) Wright - Nova
3) JT3 - GTown

[classof29]

Wright wouldn't be in the top 5.

Top Tier - JTIII and Buzz (maybe Stevens)

Do Not Want - Purnell

Everyone else (including my beloved Cooley) could be the next wooden or flame out at some point.

[MARQ2010]

1) Stevens/Buzz
3) JT3
4) Wright
5) Lavin
6) Cooley
7) Mack
8) McDermott
9) Purnell
10) Willard

I really don't get the love for JT3. I guess it depends on how you define success. If you are looking for regular season wins only and do not care about postseason, JT3 and Mike Brey are among the best in the business. With the talent the Georgetown brings, I would expect better results.

Who would you bump ahead of JT3?

1. Stevens
2. Williams
3. Lavin
4. Mack
5. Wright - I would like to have him higher, but Villanova has not done much over the last few years.
6. JT3 - he does so little with so much talent

No love for coach Wright here I see, to be sort of expected with the last couple of years. So he missed once with the 09-10 class (which was a top 5 class nationally) that set back the program a step and now he sucks? These things happen, he's got the ship moving in the right direction again.


Stevens - media darling let's see how he does over the next 4 years or so before giving him Coach K's job, ok?

Buzz - nice start let's see how he does with a target on his back though (Wright was once exactly in the very same spot)

JT3 - these disappointing early exits from the dance are getting old

Lavin - great recruiting, needs to show improved results at St. John's

Cooley - too early to say anything really, looks very promising though. Great recruiting so far, need to see results

Mack - not the sexiest pick, but has done a good job at X so far

McDermott - seems like a good X's & O's type coach, to be truthful don't know that much about him, will see how(if) he steps up
